The Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker has fast become one of my most favorite kitchen appliances. As I keep trying out new recipes, I fall more and more in love with this thing.

Anytime I need a quick meal, I put on my thinking cap and get to recipe testing. Just like with these beef tips! Normally, I cook these in the slow cooker all day to get nice tender sirloin beef tips.

Making it this way this meal is ready in under an hourand is just as tender (if not more). It’s such a great way to get a meal on the table for the family fast. This is why I love it friends!

If you do not have an Instant Pot add it to you list for Santa! If he needs some help ordering for I have a added a link HERE ;). You can always put these in theCrock Pot on low for 8 hours or high for 4 and get great results too!

I love to alternate serving this with rice, mashed potatoesor possibly egg noodles to change it up a bit. So pick what your family loves and everyone stays happy!

What you need to make Instant Pot Beef Tips

Sirloin Beef (Cut into chunks)

Olive oil

Onion

Flour

Garlic Salt

Pepper

Red Wine

Beef Broth

Cream of Mushroom Soup

Easy Steps to Making Delicious Pressure Cooked Beef Tips in the Instant Pot

Set the IP to saute feature. Add in the olive oil , sirloin beef tips, diced onion, garlic salt, pepper and flour. Stir it around until coated a bit and browned.

Then add in the wine and beef broth (At this point scrape off any brown bits or flour off the bottom of the pan). Next add the cream of mushroom. Close the lid and make sure the pressure valve is closed. Use the Manual setting on High Pressure for 25 minutes. It will take about 10 or so minutes to come up to pressure and start cooking.

I know this looks like a great big mess now, but just wait for the deliciousness!

Once done let it release naturally. This took about 20 minutes. This allows it to sit and get so nice a tender.

Note: If the gravy isn’t as thick as you like take about 1/4 cup of water and add in 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and mix up really good. Set the pot to saute and pour in cornstarch slurry and stir. Let it heat for a few minutes and you are all set!

Instructions

Set Instant Pot {6 Quart} to saute and add olive oil and sirloin tips, diced onion, garlic salt, pepper and flour. Stir it around until coated a bit and browned.

Then add in the wine and beef broth (At this point scrape off any brown bits or flour off the bottom of the pan). Next add the cream of mushroom. Close the lid and make sure the pressure valve is closed. Use the Manual setting on High Pressure for 25 minutes. It will take about 10 or so minutes to come to pressure. Once done let it release naturally. This took about 20 minutes.

Recipe Notes

If you are in a real hurry you can quick release. But letting it natural release gives the meat a little extra tenderness and allows that gravy to thicken a bit.

If gravy is not as thick as you desire remove a little of the gravy and add in a tablespoon or two of corn starch. Stir and return to Instant Pot and stir. Set to saute and let cook a few minutes until thickened.You can also make these in a slow cooker on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.

*Make sure to deglaze the bottom of the pan by scraping those brown bits or anything stuck to the bottom when you add in the wine and beef broth. This will preventing it from burning the bottom. And get all that flavor into the broth.

Looks great! I am going to make this for a pre Christmas dinner party. There are 10 people so was going to triple the recipe. I bought an 8 or 10qt instant pot. Is that ok to use? Should I text it out on a dinner party or try a safer route! Advise appreciated!! 😊

Brenda, I have not tested this in an 8 or 10 qt instant pot, so I would hate to say for certain. I typically don’t test a new recipe on company. However, I have made this recipe several times and it has always been delicious!

What is the reason you are wanting to no use it? If you don’t like mushrooms, I have two in my house that hate mushrooms and I still use it. You could also use a cream of chicken. If you just are opposed to cream soups then omit it completely. It does add a nice flavor to the dish.

Honestly, I am not quite sure. I have not used the 3 quart one to see how it fits. As long as there is some room for it to come to pressure it should work. If you want to give it a try by cutting the recipe in half, you can see if there would be room for the full recipe.

My first dinner in my new IP. My meat was mouth watering. Extremely tender. This recipe was a hit in my family!! The only thing I did differently was I used a little over 2 pounds of beef. Since I used more beef I put in a cup and 3/4 of beef broth instead of 1 and 1/2 cups. I didn’t have the wine on hand. The only thing I was unsure about was the “slow release”. I tried to let the IP come down to temperature but after 20 minutes I gave up and did quick release. Awesome recipe!!

I am so glad you love it! It’s possible all of the flour or brown bits didn’t come up off the bottom when you mixed in the liquid. Just make sure to scrape those off and that shouldn’t happen. I have added an extra note on the recipe to address it. Thanks so much for stopping by! Nikki

These beef tips are amazing! It is a good thing they don’t take too long to cook in the instant pot because the smell makes your mouth water! Can’t wait to try some of the other instant pot recipes here!

I know what happened because after I browned the meat I put the lid on the instant pot and just left it on saute. After a few minutes it said “HOT”. I then realized that I needed to set it to MANUAL and set the time.

Terri, I have not tried doing this with frozen tips. I would go ahead and follow the instructions. Then test for tenderness and cook another 5 minutes if needed. I am still experimenting with my IP and haven’t used frozen meats. I hear it works well. You wouldn’t be able to use the flour and sear them. But the cornstarch at the end should still thicken for a gravy.

This turned out great, and was easy and quick in the pressure cooker! Thanks! I might add green peppers to it next time. Thanks for a great easy recipe for someone that doesn’t cook, so anything that turns out YUMMY is awesome!!

You can use any thing you like to go with it. I haven’t tried cooking the noodles with the beef, it probably would need to be added later. Noodles just take about 4 minutes to cook! Let me know if you try it!

So I received an Instant Pot for. Christmas but just got brave enough to try it out. The beef tips were the first recipe I tried. I thought about it after I locked the lid that maybe it wasnt a great idea due to the cost of the meat but…I can’t thank you enough. My family absolutely loved this dish. My son said it is his new favorite. This is a must try and added to the regular rotation.

Thank you so much Dawn! That just makes my day! The cost of food still shocks me each time I go to the grocery store. I love to stock up at Sams and refreeze in smaller portions. Also Publix here has BOGO chuck roasts from time to time. I will cut those up as well for this dish when I get those great buys! My son loves this one as well and its really easy to make and such a treat. In fact I am making it again tonight for our family meal. Many Blessings, Nikki

Hi Nikki, Just made the Beef Tips for dinner. They were delicious! They didn’t quite look like yours but that didn’t matter. My husband told me that I could make that every night & he would lick the plate every night! Thanks for sharing your recipe.

I am so glad you and your hubby enjoyed them. That licking the plate is the best compliment you can give a cook! I find every time I cook something it looks different.I appreciate you stopping by and I hope you come back soon and chat with me! I love hearing from Soulfully Made friends!

Marisa you have made my entire weekend! Now that is the best compliment ever! I am thrilled you enjoyed it. I have been in a mess at my house with some remodeling due to a little A/C flood, so I have been cooking in my Instant Pot a lot lately and am adding new recipes all the time. Hope you come check them out.

It is a brand of an electric pressure cooker. Any brand of pressure cooker will work. You can find links in the blog post to one on instant pot if you would like to take peek! You can also make this in a slow cooker or on the stove top, if you do not have one. Slow cooker on low for 8 hours or high for 4 to 5 hours. Thank you so much for coming by! I hope you come back again!

I have replaced cream of mushroom with cream of chicken in many dishes and it is delicious! However, my husband hates mushrooms too and he still loves this recipe. I have not tried cooking them together in the instant pot at the same time. It takes far less time for the pasta or rice in the Instant Pot.
